Lameness filter

Lameness filters are filters[?] used by SlashCode based websites to stop junk comments from being posted.

Lameness filters include

• Too many junk characters
• Too many Capital Letters
• Too much repetition
• ASCII art
• Comments which are too short or long.
• Using a combination of tags that try to break web pages.

These can be easily circumvented, but they usually keep most junk off sites.

Obsession with breaking these filters have lead to Internet trolls appearing all over slashcode based sites like slashdot.
